@Dylan BergumNobody drives 30 miles out of town to a coworking space.

@Douglas Spence I’m currently half way through that book and that’s a great point.

I am just not sure if it's worth investing in such an expensive state, whereas I see other states it's half the price of the down payment I need to make for a home in CA haha.

A property one block from downtown may rent for twice what a house a mile away rents for.

We see a lot of clients do a successful house-hack in Colorado Springs where they rent the lower half as an Airbnb.

I currently own 1 multi-unit rental property and some K1 syndicated investments, all of which are owned in my personal name.I just purchased my rental property with funds from my personal checking account, and I have paid for about half of the rehab with funds from my personal checking account. 

Purchase price: $390,000 Cash invested: $95,000 Using the house hack strategy and renting out the other half of the duplex.

On the inside I completely gutted the bathrooms, turning a half bath into a master retreat.

I added value by a complete exterior renovation, cosmetic upgrades, bringing the basement up to safety levels as well as turning a half bath into a full.
